D'oh! The solution I gave before only works in the Bookmarks pane. To make
the actual text entry on the LOF page work, display the LOF page and select
the Link tool (yellow chain icon in the toolbar or Tools>Advanced
Editing>Link Tool). The cursor will turn into a crosshair and all of the
existing links on the page will be outlined. Draw a rectangle around the
text line that is the xref to the graphic. In the Create Link dialog, select
"Open a page in this document" and enter the destination page number and the
appropriate zoom level, then click OK. Click back on the hand tool to exit
the Link tool.

Now, when you click anywhere on the entry, it will jump to the correct page.
You can even make the link open a separate file.

This is for Acrobat Standard 6.0. The location of the Link tool may be
different in other version.

You can manually link the bookmark to the page with the graphic.

In Acrobat Standard 6.0, display both the Bookmarks list and the pages.
Click on the LOF bookmark that isn't working, then scroll through the pages
until the appropriate page is showing (leaving the bookmark selected). Then
from the Options menu, select Set Bookmark Destination. This will link the
selected bookmark to the displayed page. 

You can also create, delete, rename, and change the level of bookmarks in
the list.

Subject: Help with PDF problem and 11x17 page size

I'm new so please be kind. I work in Frame 7.1b023 with no plug-ins.

 

I have a book file that incorporates multiple 8-1/2 x 11 page size files,
multiple 11 x 17 page size files with cross references within files and from
file to file, stand alone TOCs, LOFs, and LOTs that are generated and then
copied and pasted into the front of the files. The book is then PDF'd with
create hyperlinks turned on.

 

The PDF works great and all the cross references for the TOC, LOF, LOT, from
Frame work in the PDF.

 

The problem is that the 11 x 17 pages (which are figures) end up on 8-1/2 x
11 pages in the book PDF. What I have been doing is going into each of the
11 x 17 files (9 total), and saving each as a stand-alone 11 x 17 PDF. Then
I exchange each new 11 x 17 PDF for the old 8-1/2 x 11 page in the book PDF
file. This works for getting the correct page size, but the link from the
LOF (which is not on the 11 x 17 page) does not work.

 

Does anyone have a suggestion on how to make the links work to the 11 x 17
pages?

 

Thanks
